“More Obama change to believe in: Americans now see him as a partisan Democrat”

Sure. But how many Americans continue to believe he is a good man? LATimes blog:

One of the 2007-08 Obama presidential campaign’s changes that Americans believed in by the many millions was his oft-repeated promise to work with all sides no matter what and change the harsh political tone of Washington.

Good luck with that tired professed aspiration. George W. Bush promised the same thing a decade ago. That worked well for several minutes.Button Is it 2012 Yet?

Well, Bush is gone and the majority parties have switched places. Now Democrats run the whole D.C. show.

And after almost 17 months of Democrat Obama’s White House administration, it appears Americans have given up on his promised bipartisanship, or even on less partisanship. It’s an impressive squandering of good will from his inaugural glow.

A new Rasmussen Reports survey finds 61% of likely voters believe the nation’s capitol will see more, not less, partisanship during the next year. Which includes, of course, the unfolding midterm election campaigns leading up to Nov. 2.

The figure expecting increased partisanship is 50% higher than during the early days of Obama’s term when only 40% were pessimistic about political cooperation.

Meanwhile, another new poll out this morning from Gallup finds Obama’s approval among Hispanics has slipped 12 points just since January, apparently due to unhappiness with the president’s unwillingness to pursue comprehensive immigration reforms this year. Only 57% of that core Democratic audience now approve of Obama, a steady decline in 2010.

In related news, water is still wet — and JMJ Bullock is still gay as a french horn being fingerbanged by a lumberjack.

You’re welcome.

    Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy! Seriously, let’s all sing kumbaya and compromise; agreeing that Obama is a good man when it comes to being hyper-partisan…

    But, he’s definitely losing steam amongst his own crew.

    Gee, and I thought I’d never be hip and part of the in-crowd again. But, as they often say, fashion trends are cyclical; maybe political ones too. Who knew that it’d be cool to be down on Baracky!

    O’l neighbor Juan is tell-taling a shifting wind too Bob, as he and Mara sort themselves uncomfortably in their seats, attempting to maintain an even spin. It’s getting harder.

    Apart from being a marxist bimbo, he’s a crappy president.

    He sucks at this job what he’s doing. He’s inept and dorky and arrogant and cocksuckery.

    You can’t put lipstick on the Obama pig you just can’t well ok you maybe could but then you’d have to tag it so it didn’t get mixed up with Helen Thomas.

    Oooooooh. When he’s losing Juan, he’s losing it sdferr.
